After I stopped being a lady from a rich family, I fought all over the capital

Chapter 329 Evil Disciple
Pei Yuanshi listened carefully to Liu Wu's confusion, remained silent for a moment, and then said frankly but embarrassedly, "I don't know either."

So, after getting Song Lan's permission, the three of them buried themselves in the library of the Longevity Temple.

It was almost lunchtime, but the three of them were still buried in their books, flipping through them, searching for the answer.

The old Taoist priest, wearing a skirt and holding a spatula, came out of the house in a huff.

"What are you doing? What time is it? Why isn't anyone here to help in the kitchen? I'm the only one who has to take care of everything, from eating and drinking to using the toilet."

After being berated, the old Taoist priest realized that all the ancient books he had painstakingly collected had been unearthed.

"Pei Yuanshi!! You little brat, you've ruined things again!!"

The old Taoist priest, wielding a spatula, was about to rush forward and beat Pei Yuanshi to a pulp.

Pei Yuanshi remained seated, intently turning the pages of his book, not moving an inch or even flinching. He simply said, "Don't forget, what you're holding in your hand is a spatula for cooking."

Old Taoist: ……

"Normally it's just the two of us, master and disciple, relying on each other for survival, so that's fine. I don't mind."

"But our distinguished guests are still here."

Old Taoist: ……

He felt as if his lifeline had been seized in an instant, his throat felt choked with discomfort, as if he had a pent-up anger that he couldn't swallow or choke down. He just wanted to smash this wicked disciple's head in.

Pei Yuanshi may appear to be a virtuous gentleman, but in reality... he's full of wicked schemes.

"Master, will you continue?"

Pei Yuanshi raised his eyes and looked at his master, who was furious.

Old Taoist: ……

Just you wait, you little brat!! Sooner or later, a distinguished guest will descend the mountain!!

He sulked, said nothing more, and turned to leave.

The Xue family. That's why they say the Xue family is so large and powerful.

It took the butler two whole hours to get everyone together just by calling out to them.

Whether the Xue family did it on purpose or not, the steward Bao Sheng, looking at the more than five hundred people standing in the front yard, was still not satisfied. He even went up to Jiao Bubai and asked in a way that was sure to infuriate people, "Sir, is there anything else you need? I'll go and call over the people from all the farms and shops as well."

The butler, Bao Sheng, was very polite, as if he greatly respected Jiao Bubai and was in awe of his authority.

"That's fine then. I'll let you go back and report to the Prefect properly."

"Although our Xue family is a large and powerful family, not to mention the masters of each branch, there are hundreds of people just serving us. But as long as you say the word, we still have to cooperate."

The butler's words, though seemingly polite, were actually full of sarcasm and irony.

Even Guo Tianzhuang, a rough and impulsive man, could tell something was wrong from that mocking tone.

"How do you talk?!"

Guo Tianzhuang was about to rush forward without thinking, but Jiao Bubai raised his hand to stop him, thus preventing him from punching the butler Baosheng in the face.

Bao Sheng was instantly smug when he saw Jiao Bubai blocking his way.

"What are you saying, sir? Aren't we cooperating fully with the Jingzhao Prefecture in handling the case?"

He pointed at Jiao Bubai: "It was this official who personally said that everyone in our household should come over and identify these petty thieves who came from who-knows-where."

"Why are you unhappy now that we've cooperated?"

"That's really a difficult situation!"

"With you being so unpredictable, should we cooperate or not?"

This time, anyone could hear the malice in Bao Sheng's tone.
